“It is arguable that musculoskeletal clinicians have invented treatments for conditions that may not exist or be readily detected (such as trigger points, sacral torsions), and they have developed and perpetuated treatment paradigms (such as ‘correcting’ upper body posture and muscle imbalances) that do not conform to current research evidence. These trends have created an expectation that interventions (frequently ‘passive’) will provide a ’cure’, and typically quickly, with minimal self-contribution.”

Lumbar flexion makes the intervertebral disc bulge posteriorly, right? Not always.. 🙂 Great video made by Michael Shacklock and prof. Tom van Hoof, where you can see that with lumbar flexion, the disc bulges anteriorly.

The common findings on scans and x-rays are usually related to age changes - the kisses of time. Left and right differences are quite normal. We grow like trees - never the same left and right, adapting to the seasons and the weather. Like trees, we too can be resilient against the irrepressible forces of nature, heal ourselves and can seek appropriate nourishment.

Your body and any scans reflect your life story - not necessarily injury or pain. Google an image of Serena William's (or any professional tennis player's) dominant arm and you will see how different their two arms are.

Patients are naturally concerned about left/right differences in scan findings (or perhaps from what they've been told about their leg lengths by some practitioners). We grow like trees can help reconceptualise a person's body image using positive, changeable imagery. Scan findings might need a deeper discussion, but this nugget can help break the ice.

“Spine surgeons are throwing random treatments at symptoms without taking the time to know a patient’s whole story. It takes just five minutes for a doctor to ask a simple question, “What’s going on in your life over the last year?” Answers may include the loss of a job, loved one, divorce, or random accident. The severity of their suffering is sometimes beyond words. But once we help them past this trauma, their physical symptoms usually resolve.

What has become more disturbing is that I see patients every week who have major spine surgery done or recommended for their normal spines. It often occurs on the first visit. Patients tell me they often feel pressured to get placed on the surgical schedule quickly. At the same time, I am watching dozens of patients with severe structural surgical problems cancel their surgery because their pain disappears using the simple measures I’ve learned.” ... See more
